Cabling the controllers to a single NS224 drive shelf in AFF A700 and ASA AFF A700 systems running ONTAP 9.8 and later only

You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf on an AFF A700 or ASA AFF A700 running system ONTAP 9.8 or later.

About this task

This task applies to AFF A700 and ASA AFF A700 running ONTAP 9.8 or later only.
The systems must have at least one X91148A module installed in slots 3 and/or 7 for each controller. The animation shows this module installed in both slots 3 and 7.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab for the storage modules are up, while the pull tabs on the shelves are down.

Note: As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove it, turn it around and try again.

Use the following animation to cable your controllers with two X91148A storage modules to a single NS224 drive shelf, or use the diagram to cable your controllers with one X91148A storage module to a single NS224 drive shelf.
